PowerWash Simulator 2 does a great job of changing up the complexity of its levels throughout the campaign. Whether you’re just looking for a quick session to chill out or an in-depth power washing extravaganza with friends, the game has plenty of each to keep you busy for hours on end.
If you’re in it for a real challenge, though, these are the most complex jobs in the game. With lots of grimy surfaces to clean, hidden crevasses for dirt to hide in, and high points that necessitate the use of climbing gear, they’ll put your skills to the test.
Motel
The Motel is a pretty big map, and while much of it is smooth surfaces that are easy to work with, there are also lots of obstacles to work around. Tables and chairs with umbrellas, not to mention the in-ground pool and sign out front, mean you’ll have a lot more to do than just get the building’s exterior looking brand new again.
Not only will you need to bring out lots of different tools to navigate the Motel’s obstacles, you’ll also need high-powered washers and plenty of soap. Caked-on dirt and graffiti both make frequent appearances here, so in many cases it will take a little extra to get the job done.
Gas Station
The Gas Station is similar to the Motel, but has more of everything. Between the pumps, picnic tables, and the playground out back — not to mention the actual building and giant sign — each part of this job feels like an achievement in and of itself.
The Gas Station is one of the first maps where you’ll encounter graffiti, and it’s deceptively done in crayon on the playground — it almost looks like it belongs there unless you go over it with soap. There’s also spilled gasoline in small patches near the pumps, which requires a lot of power or soap to get rid of.
Theater
The Theater is a comparatively small interior, but don’t let that fool you — this is one of PWS2’s most diabolical jobs. The high ceilings have decorative molding that you’ll need to work around from atop ladders, and it will likely take several passes to get all the dirt between the seats.
The historic theater deserves to be cleaned up and renovated, but for all the work you have to put in to do it, they could at least throw in some free tickets on top of your usual fee.
Fun House
The Fun House requires you to go from room to room, cleaning while it spins and whirrs around you. If you thought it was bad enough having to find that bit of dirt that you missed, now you might have to actively chase it as well.
For all that, though, the Fun House is reasonably small. The biggest challenge comes if you have to go back inside at the end when it inevitably turns out you missed a spot, since you can’t just walk to a section; you have to go through the rooms in order.
Mini Roller Coaster
Sheila Layter’s Alligator Mini Roller Coaster is a fun map with plenty to do, but despite the name there’s nothing mini about it once you start working. The coaster itself is a fairly quick job if you focus on it, but the grounds, decorations, loading bay, and overall structure have a lot of filthy surface to cover. You can expect this one to take a while, but hey — it beats waiting in line for the ride!
Salvage House
Built from the remains of an old airplane, the Salvage House is an odd bit of architecture. Its raised deck requires you to get both under and over it for a thorough cleaning, and you’ll want to give an extra once-over to the spots where the posts and railings meet.
The real trick, though, is in getting to the top of the building’s airplane elements. The wings, jet-engines-turned-chimneys, and fuselage all require some pretty dextrous climbing, to say nothing of picking the right washer and nozzle combination for the job.
Shooting Gallery
The Shooting Gallery has some fun throwbacks to the first PowerWash Simulator game, but cleaning it is a real sasquatch of a job. It’s filled with irregularly-shaped tasks, many of which have targets that make them move if you hit them.
Even once you get through the main gallery, which takes plenty of work on its own, there’s still the exterior of the tent to deal with, including the prize plushes and even the generator out back. We’re not actually sure you should be spraying that last bit with water, but it’s just a video game. Don’t try it in real life.
Rock Climbing Gym
Even if you gaze upon the towering mountain at the center of the Rock Climbing Gym with dread upon first entering the job, that doesn’t tell the whole story. Yes, it’s practically a skyscraper by the standards of PowerWash Simulator, and yes, it’s covered in handholds that all need to be individually cleaned, and yes, you have to do this once on each side of the colorful plastic monolith… but even once you’ve finished, you’re only half done.
The Rock Climbing Gym extends out in a wide area around the mountain, with vast amounts of filthy floorspace crying out for the SwirlForce Surface Cleaner. Miniature rocks, volcanoes, and palm trees, many of which have those dreaded handholds and require you to lug ladders around to clean the tops, cover this unending foam landscape. The Rock Climbing Gym is by far the game’s most complex job, and by extension, possibly the longest.
